FUNDING: BACS TAIWAN STUDENTSHIPS / RESEARCH / SCHOLARSHIPS / BACS-Taiwan Huayu Enrichment Programme BACS administers a competitive scholarship programme on behalf of the Taiwan Ministry of Education for one-year, six month or two month language programmes at approved centres in Taiwan. Application deadlines are usually around March of each year, for studentships to be taken up that summer/fall. For information about approved language centers in Taiwan, see http://www.studyintaiwan.org A monthly stipend of NT$25,000 is provided to cover fees and to contribute to maintenance expenses. The scheme is open to any student on a full-time or part-time Chinese language course provided the student holds a full UK passport. All applicants must have a basic grounding in Chinese. Priority will be given to students who are currently enrolled or expect to enrol in a postgraduate degree in which fluency in written or spoken Chinese is a requirement, who show evidence of a research plan leading towards post-graduate studies or who have other career plans where fluency in Chinese is a requirement. Low priority will be given to applicants who wish to take a year out from enrolment in a single or joint honours degree in Chinese. BACS deadline for applications in 2012 is the 29th February; please check with your department for the internal deadline.
